Chances are if you knew me sophomore year of high school, you remember that shirt, or at least the whole ordeal. I sent Kimya a $10 bill in the mail for her to make me a t-shirt. Just a simple shirt, like the kind you buy at Hobby Lobby, with this blog's title on the front with some type of drawing, and "Go Love Yourself" written on the back with a little heart.
Why was it an "ordeal," you ask? Well, after a few months of feverish obsession with the Moldy Peaches (and to be honest, it was mostly an obsession with Adam Green, Dawson's cute, young, Jewish counterpart; however I've since fallen behind on his solo albums... too bad), I was really excited to learn I could get a Dawson shirt for cheap! Handmade, too!
Well, after a few months, it never arrived and I assumed some mailman stole my $10.
But then! It arrived in the mail, on the envelope it said "Sorry! :(" and lo and behold, there were my $10 dollars, too. She felt so bad, she just did everything for free. Even the postage!
And that is why Kimya Dawson has my overwhelming respect.
However, I'm not sure what happened to the shirt in the last four years. And now the soundtrack to the movie Juno is about half of her songs, and one of my favorite Moldy Peaches songs. Damnit.

I really liked the music to Juno! I wish I knew you posted earlier..That is actually really really cool. I wonder where the shirt is! We should send in something if we can't find it and get you another one. If we send something fun I'm sure they could dig one up for you.
